“Four pillars” hold up Böttcher stand
Böttcher Systems will show off its Print Pro range on stand I37 at PrintEx, which it says supports all “four pillars” of its business: carton packaging, HUV-LED, flexible packaging, and commercial print.
The Easy Clean Surface (ECS) roller series will be a centrepiece of Böttcher’s stand. Aimed at packaging
and HUV-LED printers, managing director Mitch Mulligan says these rollers boast a long and stable life, and that their surface is made of
a special compound that enables a fast release of ink, paper and dust in colour change washes.
“One of the key attributes of these rollers is their ability to make fast colour changes because of the unique surface. They’re very easy to clean, in layman’s terms – it’s a new milestone of innovation applicable to the carton and HUV printers,” says Mulligan.
Also on the stand will be the BöttcherTop NewUV HUV/LED
First in class: the BöttcherTop 1001 coating plate
blanket technology, and the BöttcherTop 1001 coating plate for water-based and UV varnishes. This plate is suitable for embellishment applications, according to Mulligan, and is aimed at commercial and carton packaging printers.
“Our coating plates are a first
in class tailored solution for those two segments, offering some really unique fine detail in their coating application. They also have technology that allows them to be stripped more easily,” he says. 21
Durst flagship sails into Sydney
Durst will exhibit its flagship large-format printer, the P5 250 HS, on stand R28 at PrintEx.
Launched last year and distributed in Australia by PES, the printer is aimed at mid to high end users and is
designed to print point-of-sale work on a variety of substrates at speeds of up to 600 square metres per hour. It includes the Durst Analytics software platform for pre-emptive maintenance as well as detailed
machine and consumption
data, and the Durst Workflow suite of applications.
According to Christoph Gamper, CEO of Durst Group, the P5 250 HS is part of Durst’s big push into large- format print.
“The new P5 platform, including workflow software and advanced service tools, represents our key strategy to further invest into large format printing technology and further afield. We believe that there is a lot to explore in this market space and the P5 250 HS is our
first statement.
“In an integrated world, printers
need to change as well. With the P5 family we provide tools for change and profit – and our firm commitment to continue to lead the innovation in the large format market,” he says.
The first P5 250 HS has
already been sold in Australia to Mezographic, which will install the machine at its Dandenong plant in August after its display at PrintEx. 21
